someone keeps a bacon blog, go figure. but hey, it's bacon, who am I to complain? We should take bets on who can finish the entire list first. The Link bacon tempura...
Crikey. Link goes to "Bacon of the Month" Club. I really like the Pederson's Natural Farms Applewood smoked bacon. Try this recipe: 2 lbs. FRESH green beans or haricot verts. That's a fancy way of saying very young tender green beans. 1-12 ounce container of sliced portabello mushrooms 8 ounces of the smoked bacon 3-4 tablespoons of GOOD balsamic vinegar. 2-3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil. Clean the green beans and cut them into 2 inch pieces. I cut them at an angle. Saute the bacon until it's fairly well done. Drain the fat, then add 2-3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil to the pan. Throw in the green beans, saute them till they are done, but still crisp to the bite. Salt and pepper to taste. Throw in the portabellos and cook for 2-3 more minutes, remove from heat, then splash liberally with balsamic vinegar. Serve this up with Cajun meatloaf and mashed potatoes. You'll thank me.
Try cutting some lean, center-cut bacon into three equal pieces. Drain about 4 cans of whole water chestnuts (not sliced) for 1 LB of bacon. Wrap bacon around water chestnut and secure with a toothpick. Place on a cooking sprayed cookie sheet. Bake at around 360 for about 40 minutes or until bacon is done. Use your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch Sour Cream Onion Dip I like to mix a good BBQ sauce with some honey and Tabasco. Heat it up and then add a little butter to it. They are also fine without sauce. Be warned...... They are absolutely addictive.
If I could ever find a reasonable reason to pass through Snook, TX, I would try some of this The Link Better yet, a video The Link
